Request to Blog, Returned

Yesterday I requested my mom to do some more blogging, and I’d thought I’d return the favor. I've stolen her idea from Monday's “Score Card” post.

So here’s my Score Card:

I'm rating myself with things that need to be done for the holidays.

5 = really, really behind/not going to happen
4 = really behind
3 = somewhat behind
2 = getting there
1 = in good shape/done


3 - Mailing Christmas cards (I’ve done about ½)
4 – Deciding the type and purchasing ingredients for the 8 or so dozen cookies I have to make for a cookie exchange party this Sunday
3 - Christmas shopping (Also done about ½, but at least all of it has been on the internet so far. I even got free shipping from all 3 sites. My goal was to do 100% without having to listen to horrible remakes of Christmas songs in a store, or deal with all the other madness involved with shopping this time of year. For the rest of my shopping I’m guessing I’ll have to put up with that crap. )
2 - Christmas tree decorated (Again, done about ½. I have lights but no ornaments. Those will be up before I go to sleep. I can’t even take credit for getting the tree; my mom got it this past Sunday. Theodor Geisel would be proud .)
3 – Knitting Christmas presents
5 – Cleaning my house before Christmas (If my Dad was here he’s say “It looks like a tornado went through here!” …and I’d have to agree with him. I image it will only get worse-see next item.)
4 – Gifts wrapped
5 - Watching all the dorky Christmas movies and shows on television.
